sinningiasinningia
genusgenusTuberous plants native to South America known for their showy, bell-shaped flowers in vibrant colors and their distinctive fuzzy leaves. These compact plants can bloom multiple times throughout the year, producing clusters of flowers that emerge from their rosette-like growth pattern.
Etymology
The genus was named in honor of Wilhelm Sinning, a German gardener and botanist who worked at the University of Bonn in the early 19th century.
Interesting fact!
These resilient plants can survive long periods of drought by going dormant and storing energy in their underground tubers, springing back to life when conditions improve.
